Back to Bento

Finally, another bento post! The bentos this week are just for Nick, as I'm out of work and get to stay home while he makes the big bucks, haha. Since we were gone this weekend out of town we did not have any leftovers available to pack, so Nick got another sandwich...with lettuce!


In the laptop lunch box I packed a whole wheat turkey-muenster sandwich with mayo and mustard cut into fourths for variety. I used little picks to keep the two top pieces in place. He got a lentil salad from the Cowgirl Creamery cantina in Point Reyes Sation which is delicious and nutty. I also included a small cheese sampler of what we got during our trip with some Cabaret crackers.

I ID'ed the cheese with colored picks so that he would know what everything was, and wrote a little note. He thought it was so cute he took a picture of it.


I also packed a small side bento with a miso soup ball containing cilantro, green onions, and dashi soup granules, napa cabbage, and abura-age tofu. What you do is add hot water to the unwrapped ball with the other ingredients and ta-da! Instant miso soup. I apparently forgot to pack a bowl so Nick drank it out of this tiny container.


This week is the last week that Nick will get bentos for a while, as I'm going out of town on Thursday and won't be back until the 18th!
